Juxtaposed Images where spatial arrangement is intended to represent temporal sequence.
In comics we use Abstraction, to represent essential Features of objects and entities, in a visual way. We often omit unnecessary details to highlight the important ones. We use both visual and verbal/symbolic abstraction..
iconic representation is closer to how ideas are found in the mind, as concepts.It allows for the reader to project himself into the characters. In art on e can have also form without other meaning than that found in the form. This is abstract art, when referring to modern art.
If there is meaning, this can be done by trying to simulate the sensory stimulus of the referent (called realistic art)
or it can be done by creating other sensory input which we know will be interpreted in a certain way. Simplified representations allow the author to focus the reader's attention onto certain features of something. Words, on the other hand have learned meaning, very much dependent on culture.
